Education Development Center
(EDC)’s founding in 1958 by university scholars and researchers coincided with
a growing national investment in the education sector. In response, EDC founder
Jerrold Zacharias, an eminent physics professor at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, brought together some of the nation’s top scientists, teachers,
and technical specialists to develop a new high school physics curriculum, PSSC
Physics. This curriculum, funded by the National Science Foundation, focused on
science as the product of experiment and theory, constructed by real people.
EDC introduced it successfully in schools across the country and eventually in
many parts of the world.
